Britain's Johanna Konta has beaten France's Caroline Garcia 6-2 6-2 to reach the semi-finals of the WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai, China.
The 25-year-old will face Ukraine's Elina Svitolina in the last four after winning in exactly one hour.

"I felt I played a very consistent match. I didn't give her many windows [of opportunity]," said Konta.

The players were divided into four pools of three, with the group winners qualifying for the semi-finals.
